Reusable child-resistant, senior-friendly unit dose container

摘要

A child-resistant and senior-friendly unit dose package (10) has a hollow container body (12) containing a separate tray (14) carrying a plurality of tablets or like items for being dispensed from the container body. The container body (12) has an end (42) with an opening (48), and the tray (14) can be slid to a retracted position in which the tray is located within the container body (12) and a dispensing position in which a proximal end part (50) of the tray (14) extends through the opening (48) of the container body. The package includes a separate cap (16) removably securable to the container body to seal the opening (48) and prevent access to the tray(s). The container body can be positioned in a tray re-loading position that permits a spent tray to be removed from the container body (12) and replaced with a new tray (14). Thus, the container body is reusable.
